In the year 1942 a pipe production from Danish beech was set up under modest conditions in a small town on Zealand. At that time it was impossible to import briar pipes from the traditional suppliers in England and France. This was the start of the Stanwell business.

When times had returned to normal the production continued but on the basis of briar root.

In 1965 the business moved to Borup to new up to date surroundings.

Over the years, Stanwell pipes have acquired a unique reputation of excellence for their designs and smoking qualities. Many of Stanwell's shapes are now classics which are treasured worldwide by smokers and collectors.

Based on creative designs by leading Danish Master Pipe Makers, combined with the careful selection of the finest Mediterranean briar, Stanwell has achieved a combination of style and quality which gives each pipe its own character.

Stanwell is not a traditional pipe factory but an assembling of some of the best Danish pipe makers who every day are proud to create pipes which prove their professional skill.
